Antagonism between sexual and natural selection in experimental populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2005

Zeyl Clifford, Curtin Ciara, Karnap Kristin, Beauchamp Elspeth

Abstract excerpt

Trade-offs between life-history components are a central concept of evolution and ecology. Sexual and natural selection seem particularly apt to impose antagonistic selective pressures. When sex is not integrated into reproduction, as in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, natural selection can impair or even eliminate it. In this study, a genetic trade-off between the sexual and asexual phases of the yeast life cycle was...
